Boss: Cronos (Revision 1211)

After the cutscene, Cronos will attempt to squash you between his fingers. Hit the button shown rapidly to overpower the titan and then quickly equip the Head of Helios. Charge a burst of light by holding R2 + Triangle and release it to blind the titan temporarily allowing you to escape.

As you fall you'll have to hit the buttons shown with precise timing to land safely on the massive hand below. Fend off the enemies and the wrist cuff will shift, allowing you to proceed up the massive arm. As you do the titan will shift and you'll have to climb while swiping at enemies below you.

Climb until you get to the red welt on the massive arm. Whip this to get Cronos' attention. Back on your feet again you can start taking out the enemies to the far left. Roll out of the way of Cronos' breath and it will damage the other enemies around you.

Eventually a colossal hand will clap down in front of you. Whip the exposed middle finger nail to damage it or use Army of Sparta to weaken it significantly. Ignore the other enemies or use Army of Sparta to keep them back and focus damage on the finger nail.

The hand will eventually be retracted and you'll have to avoid the Titan's breath again for a bit. The second time the hand comes down you can deal more damage and hopefully get a prompt. Use the prompt to rip the fingernail off and the titan will change its strategy once again.

This time the large hand will slam down, trapping you between its fingers. Look for a light strip of flesh on the finger to the left. You can jump on this and climb it. Eliminate any enemies on the finger and then equip your Head of Helios once more.

Let fly a blinding flash of light and the titan will reel back, sending you flying. Hit the prompts shown to latch back on to the Cronos' waist. Climb up the soft flesh leaping across any gaps you come to. Grab enemies and toss them into eachotehr to quickly eliminate them.

At the top of the climbable area, head right and make a big double-jump down to the platform. You'll need to activate the Wings of Icarus to get there. Several of the stone statues will appear here. Stay behind them and use powerful attacks to weaken them and then finish them off with the button prompt once it appears.

Approach the circular clasp and pry it open. See that stripe of blue Onyx? That means you should equip your Nemean Cestus. Attack the blue column vigorously and use magic to thin out the encroaching foes.

Soon Cronos will react and you'll end up in the palm of his gargantuan hand. Fend off the enemies as best you can until the titan claps his mighty hands. Get ready to mash the buttons shown to throw off the hand and counter attack.

Head to the right while hanging from the hand. Grab the first few enemies you encounter and try to use them as projectiles to knock off the other enemies. At the edge of the hand, jump off and hit R1 to swing from the grapple point. Use the quick grapple prompts to swing to safety.

Ignore the enemies as you land and run to the right. Jump over the obstacle and use the prompt to grapple up and out of the way of the approaching hand.

Fight off the enemies on the Cronos' shoulder until a skinless Cyclops emerges rather gruesomely from a scar on the shoulder. Keep rolling around the Cyclops using strong attacks on it until a prompt appears. Use magic if you are having trouble toppling it. The button prompt will allow you to assume control of the beast. Use this opportunity to attack the wound on the shoulder.

Once you deal a fair amount of damage, the titan will reel back, forcing you into another series of button presses to save your life -- only to end up in the giant's esophagus! Immediately slide down the wall and jump to the side to avoid the obstructions.

You've got to move quickly down the wall of the titan's throat in order to survive. When you come to the Cyclops hanging on for dear life, whip it and slide on down. When the camera changes perspective to show the reactions of Cronos, watch carefully for the buttons you need to hit to make your gory escape. These include the action to push/click in both ANALOG STICKS at once (R3 + L3)

You'll end up back on one of Cronos' hands again, this time with the Omphalos Stone, the raw material Hephaestus needs to craft a new weapon. Follow the pink, fleshy path up and over the massive interlocked digits. From the top, jump and float to the left. You'll arrive back on the central platform with a column of blue Onyx.

Punch the Onyx with the Nemean Cestus until it bursts. Be ready to hit a button immediately following this. After a few more correct button presses you'll end up on the face of the massive demigod.

Break the blue column of Onyx in front of you and traverse Cronos's face to the left. Once you reach his forehead, wait for a final button prompt to finish of the titan for good.
